Hello, Nikita, Paul and Kahis!

Thanks for your comments. Three families for the first fly, but at least the one I had in mind (Lauxaniidae) is among them... :-)

Isn't the first one Sapromyza hyalinata (Lauxaniidae)? 2-3 are clearly sphaerocerids.


It's really difficult for me... ;-). My first fubsy "Phorids" (in Germany "hump flies") were really Sphaerocerids. The I assumed a more slender black fly to be also a Sphaerocerid - but it was a Phorid. And now this also relatively slender black fly on pics 2 and 3 turns out to be a Sphaerocerid again... :o)
